I’d use parameter forwarding to pass the custom data to your target url. You could set this up using standard or custom parameter forwarding.

If you hover over the link name then you’ll see a delete link appear. Just click on that and you can delete the pretty link.

I’m just curious about the link shrinking. I heard you say you can use pretty link instead of bit.ly but I haven’t been able to figure out how to shrink the links inside of WP.

Have you installed Pretty Link? Have you logged into your admin and clicked “Pretty Link” -> “Add a New Pretty Link” ? That’s all you need to do :) … Let me know if you have any other issues.

I watched all four videos and I didn’t understand a word. Um, do I make the link and then replace the link in the post with the pretty link? I do all my redirects so far using php files. Is there a way to cloak affiliate links using pretty links that’s easier? I vaguely get the sense that’s what’s going on here but you didn’t give even one example of an affiliate link.
